As the uncertainty of global and local contexts continues to
amplify, the Routledge Handbook for Creative Futures responds to
the increasing urgency for reimagining futures beyond dystopias and
utopias. It features essays that explore the challenges of how to
think about compelling futures, what these better futures might be
like, and what personal and collective practices are emerging that
support the creation of more desirable futures. The handbook aims
to find a sweet spot somewhere between despair and naive optimism,
neither shying away from the massive socio-environmental planetary
challenges currently facing humanity nor offering simplistic
feel-good solutions. Instead, it offers ways forward-whether
entirely new perspectives or Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge
perspectives that have been marginalized within modernity-and
shares potential transformative practices. The volume contains
contributions from established and emerging scholars,
practitioners, and scholar-practitioners with diverse backgrounds
and experiences: a mix of Indigenous, Black, Asian, and
White/Caucasian contributors, including women, men, and trans
people from around the world, in places such as Kenya, India, US,
Canada, and Switzerland, among many others. Chapters explore
critical concepts alongside personal and collective practices for
creating desirable futures at the individual, community,
organizational, and societal levels. This scholarly and accessible
book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of
leadership studies, social innovation, community and organizational
development, policy studies, futures studies, cultural studies,
sociology, and management studies. It will also appeal to
educators, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers oriented
toward activating creative potential for life-affirming futures for
all.
